Does Happy have the chance after last Sunday's Grammy's to break the record for the most digital sales in a single week? (If I'm not mistaken Flo Rida's "Right Round" currently holds that record with 636k sold in its first or second week)

I'm saying the high maximum is 600k any even that is probably pushing it

Based on itunes pop bars Pharell is probably going to be just over or just under flo rida's record...next week...

Is this the first time that two songs had 200M+ on Mediabase/Kworb at the same time?

[felipe]

Is Partition the new urban single? Or is it the pop single?

Urban. Its fate on Pop is unclear while DIL keeps rising there.

[felipe]

So she has 2 songs being promoted to Urban radio now?

DIL is at #1 there and has been losing spins there for a short while now, so it's not really being promoted anymore. Partition is #17 and rising quickly.

No

2. LORDE – Royals: 202.043 (+ 3.337)

[jj99$ - - LeLe]

Depending on how well GIRL is doing digitally, Complete my Album might stop P from breaking Flo Rida's record.

[josh]

I don't think they would remove sales for the record, though. It still would have broken the record by selling that many in one week.

If CMA takes effect a week in advance then Pharrell might have a shot at the record.

But we never ever get the non CMA affected sales figures, so how would we know?

Re-CMA Taking effect a week in advance, how does that even work? Unless its just for Pre-orders and not including CMA's from release week.

[Duca]

Pharrell's updates are insane. He's not #1 yet on any format and has so much room to grow:

30-35 million on Pop
15-20 million on Urban
15 million on AC
10 million on Hot AC
10 million on Rhythmic
5 million on Urban AC, Triple A, and Spanish Contemporary

Coming for 300 million.

[ss8]

Yep, I think Happy def. has the fire left in it to hit 300 mill. or damn close. These updates are making Blurred Lines look like it took a while to 'take off' lol. Insane.

[Push The Button]

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – Not A Bad Thing: 12.499 (+ 1.598)

This song makes me so happy.

[Daniel Collins]

What is the fastest song to be #1 on Radio?

[Duca]

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Pharrell's "Happy" spends another week at No. 1, selling 413,000 downloads (up 3%). A week ago, it sold 402,000. "Happy" is the first song to earn two straight weeks of more than 400,000 in sales since another Pharrell-related song: "Blurred Lines." The Robin Thicke-led track (which featured T.I. and Pharrell) sold in excess of 400,000 in the three consecutive weeksending June 23, 2013.

"Happy" has a gain thanks to its growing popularity on the radio and because of its performance on the Academy Awards on March 2. On the Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart (known as Pop Songs on Billboard.com), "Happy" rises 10-4.

Back on the Digital Songs chart, Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" moves up 3-2 with 217,000 (down 12%) while Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" (featuring Juicy J) descends 2-3 with 212,000 (down 16%). John Legend's "All of Me" is steady at No. 4 with 198,000 (down 2%).

Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" rises to a new chart peak, as it climbs 7-5 with 130,000 (up 4%), its third-largest sales week yet. The song nets its first weekly sales gain in three weeks, thanks to Menzel's performance of the Oscar-winning cut on the ABC-broadcast Academy Awards. The song's total sales now stand at 1.5 million.

Bastille's "Pompeii" slips 5-6 with 128,000 (down 10%), Aloe Blacc's "The Man" falls 6-7 with 120,000, and a Great Big World & Christina Aguilera's "Say Something" remains at No. 8 with 110,000 (down 8%).

Lorde's "Team" climbs 10-9 with 101,000 (down 9%), and Pitbull's "Timber," featuring Ke$ha, moves 9-10 with 95,000 (down 15%).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 23 million downloads, down 6% compared with last week (24.4 million) and down 12% stacked next to the comparable week of 2013 (26.1 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 224.1 million, down 12% compared with the same total at this point last year (253.4 million).

10. Timber

Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' Holds at No. 1 on Hot 100

The song spends a second week at the summit and takes over atop the Radio Songs chart.
Pharrell Williams' "Happy" may not have won best original song honors at the Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2), but the jubilant track remains atop of the Billboard Hot 100 after reaching the summit last week. The song additionally ascends to No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart.

As we do each Wednesday, let's dig into the numbers behind the Hot 100's top 10.

"Happy" maintains its Hot 100 command with gains in all three of the charts metrics (sales, airplay and streaming), while sales continues to make up the majority (53%) of its chart points. It leads the Digital Songs chart for a third week with a 3% increase to 413,000 downloads sold. Having sold 402,000 last week, "Happy" is the first song to earn two straight weeks of more than 400,000 in sales since another Williams-assisted track, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring Williams and T.I., reached the number in the three consecutive weeks last June.

A full week of post-Oscar buzz should further fuel sales of "Happy" on next week's charts, as the SoundScan tracking week for this week's Hot 100 ended on Sunday night at midnight. Williams performed the song on the ABC broadcast of the festivities.

While "Happy," from "Despicable Me 2," as well as the lead single from Williams' studio album "GIRL," released yesterday and due on next week's Billboard 200, didn't take home the best original song nod, the song that did, Idina Menzel's "Let It Go," which she also performed on Sunday, edges 18-17 on the Hot 100 and 7-5 on Digital Songs (130,000, up 4%). It, too, could benefit from a full week of sales after the Oscars. (And, in a show of support for John Travolta after he flubbed Menzel's name when introducing her performance, how about a nod to his own impressive Hot 100 track record? The actor/singer scored three Hot 100 top 10s in 1977-78, including the No. 1 "Grease" classic "You're the One That I Want," with Olivia Newton-John.)

Back to "Happy": the song becomes Williams' first No. 1 as a lead artist on Radio Songs (2-1) with an 18% surge to 164 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. He'd previously topped the airplay tally three times as a featured act: on Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" (three weeks, 2004), Ludacris' "Money Maker" (two, 2006) and Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (11 weeks, 2013). Reaching the top of Radio Songs in just its sixth week, "Happy" ties Eminem's "The Monster," featuring Rihanna (2013), and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (2011) for the fastest trip to the top this decade. (The last song to soar to No. 1 more quickly? Destiny's Child's "Survivor," which bolted to No. 1 in five weeks in 2001.)

"Happy" also claims the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer award for a sixth consecutive week, the best streak since "Blurred Lines" linked a record 10 weeks (in a row and total) last year.

On Streaming Songs, "Happy" climbs 4-3 with 6.6 million U.S. streams (up 9%), according to BDS. The cut concurrently spends a fourth week at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

After it led the Hot 100 for four weeks until last week, Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" spends a second week at No. 2. The track tops Streaming Songs for a third week, although with a 3% drop to 11.2 million streams; it had surged by 86% last week following the Feb. 20 release of its official video. It also rules the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (2.8 million U.S. streams, down 2%, according to BDS) for an eighth week. On Digital Songs, which it led for five weeks, "Horse" slips 2-3 (212,000, down 16%). As reported yesterday, the single dominates the Mainstream Top 40 (aka, Pop Songs) radio airplay chart for a fourth week, upping Perry's career total to 46 weeks at No. 1 on the ranking, pushing her past Mariah Carey for the most time spent at No. 1 in the list's 21-year history.

With "Happy" up by 11% in overall Hot 100 points and "Horse" down by 7%, the former boasts a comfortable 21% points lead. Last week, "Happy" won the top slot over "Horse" by a mere 4% margin.

Below the Hot 100's top two, Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz, logs a fourth week at No. 3. The cut rebounds 3-2 to its peaks on Streaming Songs (7.1 million, up 2%) and Digital Songs (217,000, down 12%) and bounds into the Radio Songs top 10 (13-9; 87 million, up 15%). It's Derulo's fifth Radio Songs top 10 and first since "The Other Side" reached No. 10 last year.


John Legend's first Hot 100 top 10, "All of Me," holds at No. 4, with the Streaming Gainer ribbon, after leaping from No. 11 last week. The piano ballad stays at No. 4 on Digital Songs (198,000, down 2%) and No. 6 on Streaming Songs (5.2 million, up 15%). On Radio Songs, "Me" powers 14-8 (87 million, up 23%) to become Legend's first top 10 on the ranking. He'd previously peaked as high as No. 12 on Radio Songs with "Green Light," featuring Andre 3000, 2009. "Me" leads the Adult R&B Songs airplay chart for a fifth week.

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Bastille's "Pompeii" reaches the region (6-5) in its 29th week, tying for the third-longest trip to the top five in the chart's history. (Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" holds the mark, having taken 42 weeks to reach the top five. This week, the song extends its record for the most weeks totaled on the Hot 100 to 79, as it holds at No. 27; meanwhile, AWOLNATION's "Sail" adds to its second-best sum of 78 weeks, as it keeps at No. 41.) "Pompeii," which topped Alternative Songs for four weeks last year, likewise lifts 6-5 on Radio Songs (109 million, up 8%). It commands Hot Rock Songs for a third week.

In the second half of the Hot 100's top 10, Lorde's "Team" advances to a new peak (7-6); Beyonce's No. 2-peaking "Drunk in Love, featuring Jay Z, slides 5-7; OneRepublic's No. 2 hit "Counting Stars" rebounds 9-8; A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera's "Say Something" falls to No. 9 (after reaching No. 4); and Pitbull's former three-week No. 1 "Timber," featuring Ke$ha, holds at No. 10.

While no songs enter the top 10, highlights below the bracket include the Chainsmokers' buzzy EDM track "#SELFIE" launching as the Hot 100's highest debut at No. 55 (and charging 12-6 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs); Justin Timberlake's "Not a Bad Thing" bows at No. 65 after he performed the song, from his former Billboard 200 No. 1 album "The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2)," on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Feb. 21 (wrapping Fallon's first week hosting the NBC show); and, Lorde's "Glory and Gore" jumps 88-68 on the Hot 100 with Digital Gainer kudos (47,000, up 46%) following its usage in promos for the History channel's "Vikings." The song is the third radio single, following "Team" and the nine-week Hot 100 No. 1 "Royals," from Lorde's debut full-length album "Pure Heroine."

Visit Billboardbiz tomorrow (March 6), when all rankings, including the Hot 100, Digital Songs, Radio Songs, Streaming Songs and On-Demand Songs will refresh, as they do each Thursday. The latest charts will also appear in the next issue of Billboard magazine (on sale on Friday, March 7).

I hope CS stay in top 10 for another week...

[josh]

what about partition

[jj99$ - - LeLe]

Looks like GIRL's Sales will be a no factor, so CMA shouldn't affect his sales too greatly.

[charismatic]

Happy is very overrated. It doesn't feel like a legendary hit a la Party Rock anthem, give me everything or Get Lucky.
I think that Happy is lucky because there's no strong competition right now!
On his album sales: it shows the majority of the people is not here for the song but radio forces us to like it because rAdio likes it.
People has criticized Pit and Florida badly, but these guys earn their billboards hot 10 based on streaming and great digital sales! Not obvious payola.
Pitbull could be better album seller if he got more radio support. Timber only got 125 million AI when was outselling counting stars and the monster all the time, but radio never treated it as a number 1.
His last album, debuted with 64,000 with a single of only 60 million AI, on the other hand,
Pharrel is predicted to sell 85,000 with a number 1 with
214 million AI!
But Pit and Florida are the called single artists when they make number 1 with the third part of the airplay of Happy and dark horse.
Believe me if Florida and Pit got the airplay of Katy and Pharrel, they would be better album sellers because their music is really memorable!
